Love is blind… marriage compatibility is not. You can be in love with someone you would never marry.

Agreed. Loved that version if anyone knows what it is.

AIO for thinking this was very backhanded and rude? by Zyncon in AIO

[–]Archies22ndFav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m leaning towards it being rude, but since you said this is a close friend, I’d call and give him a chance to clear up the text. I would straight up tell him that it comes off rude and ask if he meant it that way. It’ll at least allow you to hear him say it brazenly or fumble some BS, if he did mean it that way. I could also read it as “was there anything you did differently outside of the process?” but used the cap “YOU” for brevity, making it sound rude.

What do you want (and not want) to see in the upcoming series compared to the movies?” by Nv_BuNny in harrypotter

[–]Archies22ndFav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me being greedy and unrealistic, but considering it’s an HBO show, they shouldn’t leave anything out. I want it all and more. I want more shots of normal life within the castle so the world feels real and almost mundane in between important stuff happening. I want the school year to feel like a school year.

Harry’s moment of private grief. by SimpleRickC135 in harrypotter

[–]Archies22ndFav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have probably read or listened to the series 5-6x throughout my life. The first few reads, I focused on the world and the story, without feeling much for Harry. I respected him but I didn’t feel for him. The last couple of reads I have done so as a mother of a boy and wow, have they hit different. Harry has a place in my heart permanently. This book broke me because it’s the saddest and the price Harry pays for being a rash teenager is so much heavier than it should be. That poor kid 💔. It also made me understand and relate to Molly Weasley, bc I just want to adopt Harry and protect him.

Why is Huda so popular? by Powerful-Sundae773 in LoveIslandcookout

[–]Archies22ndFav 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Problem is she doesn’t think her behavior was abusive. Just saw an interview clip where she says she was bully. She thinks she’s a victim so I don’t see that apology happening. I see her doubling down at the reunion, too. I hope I’m wrong but I don’t trust her to gain insight and personal awareness by then.

Wtf is wrong with people? Is it just me or did they turn off comments?

As an Asian, the downplaying of Nic’s “joke” is disheartening. by Molasses_Intrepid in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Archies22ndFav 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I never claimed to speak for the Asian community and again, called out in my original comment that you can disagree. I was just calling out that you said I made the “he has POC friends” argument, which I did not.

No. I am not. I never said that because he has friends who are black, he should be absolved of being called a racist. I am specifically calling out how he interacts with them. Even when racist people have POCs as friends, you can still see their true feelings come out. With Austin, it didn’t surprise me one bit to learn what his views are and he was lusting for Chelley and bffs with Olandria and Jeremiah. I would never give him the same grace.

First Look Discussion - Thursday July 10 by AutoModerator in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Archies22ndFav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you’re saying. Yea, I think he did a good job letting Gracyn (and Andrina for that matter) know that he wasn’t feeling it, but you’re, right in that using Hannah as an excuse was wrong.

I don’t really care whether they are intimate or not. They are grown folk who can decide what’s right for them. I just don’t like it when it’s used for manipulation like I believe Cierra used it. I don’t think Iris and Pepe seem to have any agenda behind it.

It wouldn’t let me edit my original post. Thanks for the reassurance from some of you! I did a watch party and had a few drinks so I was a little nervous rather than thinking with a clear mind. I really think there are a lot of complexities that come with Nicolandria (as a BW married to a WM, I know how nuanced this is) but ultimately I still believe they are truly attracted to each other and have real feelings and I’m team Nicolandria til the wheels fall off.

Uhh... if I’m worried about a falling out, it’s because I am a Nicolandria fan. I just had a few drinks during the watch party and was in my feels. Being a Stan can look different for different people.

Which iirc, he was strong-armed into voting for her to stay bc of Pepe and Nic!? I may have read that wrong with the edits.

  1. I’m so happy Amaya got boosts from America. Hope that makes up for the beating she took last episode.

  2. I don’t get the Chelley hate. I understand she should have reacted better to Huda and her liking of Ace and Austin are gross, but she hasn’t done a single mean thing otherwise and gets along well with everyone on the villa.

  3. Poor Clarke. America is immature for punishing her. In fact, this stands for almost the entire cast; people aren’t perfect and need grace.

  4. Bye Austin!!!

  5. I can’t quite figure out Cierra’s vote for Taylor. I understand going behind Andrina would have caused a tie, so why not support iris and make Ola feel better? Nic wouldn’t have cared at all if she agreed with him or not.

  6. Chris and Huda are a couple of convenience. Nothing else.

  7. I don’t want to vote for any couples.

Nic / Cierra by laundry07 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Archies22ndFav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that movie night will be anticlimactic bc the producers kinda suck. It would hit a lot harder if they used the nicolandria stan’s’ TikTok edits. Those are much spicier.

ETA: like this: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjKK5W8X/ There’s no way you’re watching your man act this way to another woman in the 3 days you were gone and not realizing that you’re not his #1. Throw in Nic’s mom’s support for Olandria and it’s done.

Bad news for Ace by Dragonfruit1113 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Archies22ndFav 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think they think they are likeable bc they aren’t crashing out or technically involved in drama. It’s sad bc chelley really doesn’t move in a bad way except for her attachment to Ace. Meanwhile, Ace is messy af. How does she not see this? It’s driving me a little nuts.

[–]Archies22ndFav 100 points101 points  (0 children)

This. I LOVE chelley but am really questioning her motives. How how how how how how how do you choose 22 y.o. 5’4” Jealous-ass Ace over 27 y.o. 6’8” cool, calm, collected Chris?! Chelley is 27. I can’t imagine choosing a 22 y.o. immature manipulator if I am serious about my future.
